A funny thing happens when you put up a website for the first time. Especially a website with a domain name like, oh, your real god-given first and last names, let's say. Do you know what that something is? You probably do.
First you think: "I AM THE COOOOOLEST MOFO ON THIS PLANET!".
Then you think "Wait, crap, does this look bad on other people's computers? Because on mine it looks beautiful and perfect, but on that one it looks kind of crappy. Crap!".
And, a few days later, you just might think: "What the hell am I doing posting my thoughts on the internet? For people, any random people, to read? And judge? And potentially steal? AM I CRAZY?!".
Then you might need to take a breath and chill out just a little bit.
After you chill, you might think, "Hey, I'm chill." And then, "Self, you are a good person, a good person with good thoughts." And, "Self, you have an underlying faith in the universe, even though bad people have tried to steal your good thoughts and ideas before, under the guise of being your good friends, even."
And also, "Self, the whole reason you started this silly website is to stick it to the man. Well, okay, not to stick it to the man, exactly. But you know what I'm saying, self. Screw it! Just do it! Move it or lose it! Insert tired cliche here!"
And so, here I am, saying Screw It and/or Move It Or Lose It. Thank you for your support.
And also, after much time and effort, my archives pages are almost-just-nearly-pretty-much-totally done. Just in case you were wondering what that funny "archives" link was all about.
